Palisade Palms delight

We loved our stay. Clean, well located, well stocked with a full functioning kitchen. Even had a choice of beach toys for the kids and a beach umbrella that was most appreciated. Patio was large with a beautiful view. Owner was promptly responsive to questions. Thanks for sharing with us!

Galveston Heaven!

Beautiful property…even more beautiful than the pictures! Place was so well appointed & decorated. We had everything we needed and everything we didn’t know we needed! The beach and property at Palisade Palms are THE BEST on the island! The guests were all so friendly. As a dog lover, getting to see happy dogs during our stay was a huge bonus. Will definitely be back! Thanks so much for a fabulous week!

Great location and perfect floor plan

Our family of 6 plus dog so enjoyed our stay at Michael's condo - clean and spacious, well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds and linens, plenty of daily supplies as well as some extras we didn't anticipate. The condo management and staff are also top-notch. Quiet, too, though we were there over a busy holiday. This will be our preferred destination for future vacations in Galveston!

Grandsons National Gymnastics Meet Getaway at Palisade Palms Resort

Palisade Palms is a beautiful resort with amazing views of the ocean, pool and morning sunrises! The amenities at this resort are great! I loved the area it is in, far enough away from the crowded areas but close enough with just a short drive to enjoy all the restaurants and entertainment. The condo we stayed in was beautiful and was supplied with everything we needed. If we were ever to visit Galveston again I would be definitely stay at Palisade Palms Resort again!

Always a joy!

We LOVE to stay at Michael's condo! It's always clean & SO comfortable. We love the fourth floor view while sitting on the balcony with our coffee. The whole property is so nicely maintained. My grandchildren drove down from Houston for the day & SO enjoyed the beach. It was a wonderful way to spend family time with them. We enjoyed eating out & shopping as well as chilling by the pool. It was a great vacation, & we were sad to leave.

Palisade Palms Galveston TX

Can't say enough about this rental. 5 stars in all areas! Palisades is an amazing place, and the staff treat you like family. Palisades is not your standard high rise Condo, it's a luxury site, and offer amazing amenities, including deluxe accommodations, pool, several hot tubs, mezzanine coffee bar, and easy access. Our unit was exactly as described, and was well stocked with supplies. I can see why our host, Michael, is a "Super Host" as he went above and beyond to support us. He checked on a regular basis to make sure all was ok, and recommended restaurants and things to do, based on our interest. Will definitely stay here again on our return trip, and assure anyone considering this unit you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful Property!

I've stayed at Palisade Palms several times and this is a stand out property. This wonderful condo is clean, comfortable, and quiet. I usually purchase/bring beach toys but read there were some in the condo. It was great to be able to borrow/use these verses having to pack and/or purchase them. The TV/cable package has a zillion channels which is great when there are playoff games and/or a rainy day. We were fortunate to have amazing weather, so not much TV watching, except for those playoff games. Previous guests shared items like laundry detergent and ziplock bags. I had purchased these items as I've always needed to and was surprised to find them in the condo. This property feels like you are staying at a friend's home verses a rental property. The owner is very personable, prompt, and thorough in communications. I highly recommend this property. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect doesn’t even come close to describing!

Michael’s beach condo was clean, luxurious, cozy, and quiet. I would absolutely stay here again and again. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! You were a wonderful host. We had absolutely zero issues. The building felt safe and secure, parking was great, we used the washer and dryer daily for towels and wet swimsuits etc, the beds were incredibly comfortable, the water pressure was fantastic (my husband would wonder about this 😆), the AC was cold, the water was hot, the kitchen had absolutely everything you’d need or want. We used the crockpot to have dinners ready when we came back from long days at the beach. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony, and waking up to beautiful ocean views. I never once heard any neighbors or noise from the hallway. The pool was clean and never crowded. Every dog owner did a great job of picking up after their pet, so you barely noticed there were pets there. The areas to walk your dog were large, well kept, and extremely convenient. The elevators are fast and were never crowded. (Bring lots of Deet mosquito spray, they were bigger than seagulls and extremely hungry) I can’t speak for the twin bed or the televisions as we literally did not even touch those. If you’re a planner like me- There were enough coffee filters there for at least the next year, so don’t worry about bringing those. There are various seasonings and powdered Coffee Mate coffee creamer was also available. The provided laundry detergent was All Free and Clear.

Stunning Beach Serenity~

Spectacular location and amenities, our family had a fantastic week together here. Morning coffee on the balcony with stunning views of the sunrise and the rhythmic waves tumbling onto the pristine beach made for perfect memories each day of our stay. The unit is well stocked with supplies to anticipate any need in the kitchen and for time at the beach. Host Micheal had excellent communication throughout the process, check in/out was smooth, and many recommendations for local restaurants. Highly recommend and look forward to our next visit!

Incredible property - exceeded our expectations!

The Palisade Palms is an incredible facility, with first-class amenities and wonderful location. The sunrises AND sunsets were amazing; the beach location is great; the pools and hot tubs were perfect; and we used the putting green and pickleball courts almost every day. Long walks on the beach were an every day item, and the proximity to the Strand/downtown was great for dinners; the kitchen in the condo was perfect for preparing our own breakfasts and lunches. Definitely 5-star! We will be returning!!!

Relaxing holiday in beautiful unit and complex

This unit was just as described in the listing, beautiful and comfortable. Plenty of utensils and cooking pans, plenty of dishes, etc. The owner was very responsive and attentive to a need we had. The amenities available at the property were excellent. Our party included teens up to my 78/80 yr old parents. There was something for everyone. All ages enjoyed the game room facility with Foosball, air hockey, shuffleboard, pool table, big screen TV and gorgeous views. The pool is beautiful and plenty of seating with shade, if desired. As silly as it sounds, I appreciated the nice boardwalk from the condos to the beach - specifically that it had ramp access and a neat deck at end of the boardwalk with tall deck chairs to sit and people watch. Things we enjoyed: complimentary morning coffee bar, large ice machine (on different floor - we use a lot of ice!), fitness center, game room/lounge, comfy beds, comfy chairs on this unit's patio (great views), loads of blankets/light throws to use for chill/lounge time in front of TV. Things to consider: replace a couple of pans, remove some low lying decor and smaller decorative pieces (especially for families with younger kids), All in all - great rental and experience! I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property!

I took my daughters for spring break, and I was so happy with the property. The location was great, the property itself in very good condition and well decorated. It also indicates a fully equipped kitchen, which we needed because we cooked at least two meals per day while we were there. Michael was very responsive whenever I communicated with him. I highly recommend this space.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Piana

Host profile image
While I live in Houston, I have been a Galveston weekender for 20 years. I enjoy an historic house on the island and all of the activities, dining, biking and beaching that the island offers. A great place to take life a little slower!

Why they chose this property

The Palisade Palms is located on the East Beach of Galveston Island which is quieter and slower pace. However, it is very close to the historic district with wonderful restaurants, tourist activities and shopping. The condo is faces the beach and provides wonderful views of the beach, gulf waves and ship traffic.

What makes this property unique

This condo is about 6 floors above the dunes/beach, so you have a beautiful view of and connection to the beach. The balcony faces east with an uninterrupted view of the stunning sunrise. The balcony avoids the afternoon sun and the pool activities, for a quiet evening on the balcony!
